April showers bring May flowers, but you've grown bordeaux with waiting. Take your first sip of spring with this week's Escape to By the Side of the Road Inn & Cottages in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

You and your main squeeze will spend two nights in a main house suite, with Monday or Wednesday check-in ($299) or Fridays check-in ($399). Or, opt for two nights in the Quill Cottage or Bergey Cottage, with Monday or Wednesday check-in ($399) or Friday check-in ($499).

A welcome gift and silk rose petals scattered on your bed will greet you upon arrival. Inside your suite you'll find a plush featherbed, while cottages offer the same and are topped-off with oversized whirlpool tubs and lovely porches.

When you rise in the morning, a gourmet breakfast delivered to your door will help you shine. Instead of dying on the vine, take a winding stroll around the two-acre property. During spring, its grounds bloom with pink Yoshino cherry blossoms, deep purple magnolias, and sunny yellow forsythias.

More than a dozen Blue Ridge western slope wineries will impress even casual oenophiles. Tour the scenic surroundings with your included Shenandoah Valley Guide, then plant yourself under a shady tree and enjoy a provided picnic lunch of crusty bread, local cheese, fresh fruit, and delightful dessert to tide you over until dinner.
